String   Western Musical Instrument


DOUBLE BASS

The largest and lowest pitch bowed string instrument, was directly developed from the "double-bass viol". It frequently doubles the cello part at an octave below in classical music, but is also capable of playing the bass part alone. Often played in pizzicato style, the double-bass is also an important member of jazz bands.
